2017 Sponsors

2017 FIRST Steamworks℠ Sponsors

Team 4293's season would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors! They are the reason we are able to continue offering our programs and we can not possibly thank them enough. We are grateful for any level of support, and all donors will be recognized at all FRC events. Donors will be recognized based on the valuation of their donation, which is broken down by level. Levels range from Bronze all the way to Diamond, where sponsors become part of the official team name with FIRST®, announced at all events and programs. Non-monetary donations, such as service donations, in-kind donations, and gift cards are appreciated as well and will be recognized at monetary value. If you or your company is interested in sponsoring this organization, please contact us, and consider checking out our sponsor brochure, outlining all sponsorship benefits. We would love to hear from you!

Superior Metal Products

Superior Metal Products has been with us since the beginning of team 4293's creation, all the way back in 2012. Their shop specializes in producing high- tolerance parts for a variety of industries, with a special range of experience in aerospace “flight” and “development” items for space launch systems, orbiting satellites, planetary spacecraft, ground support systems, and prototype and production parts for aluminum can manufacturers. The owner of Superior, Mike Pollmiller, has devoted space in one of his buildings to team 4293, giving us a place to hold team meetings, work on robots and projects, and learn some of the most important fabrication skills from industrial professionals. Raw materials, facilities, services, mentorship, and manufacturing are bestowed upon the team every season, and easily come to value as a donation worth tens of thousands of dollars. It is the reason we as an FRC team have the rare privilege of designing our own custom machined parts, bypassing budgeted design limitations and allowing us to create almost anything we can imagine. We thank this wonderful company for their donations as well as their extreme dedication to our team's success.
